Katherine,

it is pretty simple - i usually focus as anteriorly as i can, set mag to 35
degrees and focus by moving the camera away from/towards the patient
(similar to a slit lamp)

exposure will need to be set way down, as the white conj will blowout very
quickly. our exposure for a darker iris isnt usually much different than
the retina, but it can be almost impossible to get proper exposure for both
the conj and iris, so be ready to adjust flash level on the fly as you
switch between conj and iris.
